Math: We are wrapping up work in our eleventh unit, Subtracting
with Tens and Ones. Topics covered in
this unit are subtracting tens on a hundreds chart, subtracting ten from
two-digit numbers, using mental math to subtract tens, subtracting from a
two-digit number, and drawing a picture and writing your own subtraction number
sentences. Up next will be our twelfth unit,
Length.
Religion: Students will be exploring Holy Week and Stations of the
Cross in religion over the next few weeks as we prepare for Easter.
Phonics: We are working in unit nine to understand the concept of closed syllables. We are exploring this concept so that students are familiar with the meaning of closed syllables before the introduction of multisyllabic word spelling patterns as well as the long vowel sounds.
Writing: The
spring in first grade is all about writing!
We worked very hard to create our “101 Days Smarter” writing pieces for
our bulletin board. Students wrote their
first drafts independently. Students
then worked with a teacher to edit their draft for trick words and
punctuation. The rest was right from the
kids. Come check them out!
Have a fun weekend!
